What is Gift Card Reselling?

Supercharge Points & Miles with Gift Card Reselling - QCGC Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast | Justin Vacula Justin Vacula hosts Taylor from QCGC (qcgc.io) to show how gift card reselling can help you earn more credit card points, miles, and cashback beyond everyday spending. By buying gift cards during promotions and reselling them through QCGC, keep the rewards while scaling your credit card spending. Recorded February 6, 2026, this episode covers QCGC’s newly launched portal (live since December 2025) that replaces the old spreadsheet system. Taylor walks through the platform’s deals section (profit, end dates, sources, remaining capacity, payout rates, and timeframes), the rates page that consolidates brands and denominations (including anywhere sources), and customizable deal alerts (with SMS planned). They also discuss entering payment details for ACH payouts and enabling optional two-factor authentication.
